The mid-April "winter" storm that left over a foot of snow in many areas around the region also packed powerful winds that whipped up Lake Superior over the weekend. This strong low pressure system dragged in strong northeast winds that gusted over 50 mph, heaving tall waves against the Lake Superior North Shore.

Highlighted in the video are waves overtaking the pier seawall in Canal Park, surfers at Stoney Point north of Duluth, and cliffs at Split Rock Lighthouse and Tettegouche State Park being blasted by massive waves.
